Come for the American cynicism, stay for the Russian despair.

On Friday night, I was watching the American ice dancing teams get murdered by the Russians , who for some reason, have been mangling every sport. It’s like they want Putin to murder them when they get back. Although, now they are in third place. And, although they’ve been losing, they are scary, scary people and performed insanely well in the compulsory routine. Specifically, Domnina-Shabalin scare the crap out of me with their ferocity (also, racism):

If you look at their fan site, it says that they eat a koala for breakfast every morning. Starting with murdering it in cold blood.

But, since they are now in third place, I thought I’d inspire Oksana and Maxim to do better next time.

Take note, kids.

There’s no way the Americans can win when they are confronted with this level of mental toughness:

I watched their routine last night. Borderline-offensive costumes or not, their dancey thing looked much more complicated than the Italians’ who went on before them. I mean, shoot, her skate blades on the dude’s thighs and chest? Scary indeed.

Do you follow Plushenko controversy ? Russians are mad; Americans are gloating;
I am trying to stay away from it – I don’t know who is right and who is wrong. It is just doesn’t seem right – was not it supposed to be about promoting piece and understanding ?
